Ross is correct, they are the same tires as I had on it the last 2 years. They are 39.5 pitbull rockers. Thanks for the complements guys. Its really fun when your getting to the end of a big project like this and you can see the final results comming togather. Seeing the paint prep and final steps are really getting me giddy. :)

There was so much snow I had a hard time getting any real height. Besides before I get to any big jumping I need to put in some bumpstops. I got a couple long distance high speed jumps and I can notice a large difference already.


I just got home from the bodyshop. Its ready for paint. 8) I also decided to add a couple more tubes to the roof. Sorry but I forgot to take pics. I will post some tomorrow after paint. ;)
